Abstract
Provided is a downhole tool, a well system, and a method. The downhole tool, in one aspect, includes a head member having a head member flange and a base member having a base member flange, the head member flange and base member flange brought together to form a combined flange having a width (W3). The downhole tool, in at least one aspect, further includes a retaining clamp assembly positioned radially about the combined flange to keep the head member flange and base member flange engaged with one another.

A downhole tool, comprising:
- a head member, the head member including:
- a first head member end and a second head member end;
- and
- a head member circumferential groove located in a main head member portion proximate the first head member end, the head member circumferential groove extending at least partially circumferentially around the main head member portion to form a head member flange;
- a base member, the base member including:
- a first base member end and a second base member end;
- and
- a base member circumferential groove located in a main base member portion proximate the first base member end, the base member circumferential groove extending at least partially circumferentially around the main base member portion to form a base member flange, the head member flange and base member flange brought together to form a combined flange having a width (W3);
- and
- a retaining clamp assembly positioned radially about the combined flange to keep the head member flange and base member flange engaged with one another.

- a head member, the head member including:
- a first head member end and a second head member end;
- and
- a head member circumferential groove located in a main head member portion proximate the first head member end, the head member circumferential groove extending at least partially circumferentially around the main head member portion to form a head member flange;
- a base member, the base member including:
- a first base member end and a second base member end;
- and
- a base member circumferential groove located in a main base member portion proximate the first base member end, the base member circumferential groove extending at least partially circumferentially around the main base member portion to form a base member flange, the head member flange and base member flange brought together to form a combined flange having a width (W3);
- and
- a retaining clamp assembly positioned radially about the combined flange to keep the head member flange and base member flange engaged with one another.
